Status: offline 		In this test I have a Sub on a patrol to attack anything on land that is not friendly. There three structures on land in range of the patrol area but the sub never attacks even though the weapons are set to free. If I mark the target as hostile then it will attack. This used to work like this. I have to set the targets inside the patrol area for this to work in the past. Has something changed?

I set depth just over the layer, which it set to 121 ft. Then when the sub got in range it fired missiles at all 3 targets and destroyed them with no action by me.

Status: offline 		The sub should move to the area which it does, but in the mission editor it has a depth of 164ft which is shallow enough to launch the missiles when attacking. However it does not seem to plot a course to attack the facilities on it's own like it used to. It should attack want to attack the facilities based on its settings.

Status: offline 		That is correct, until a sub ran ashore chasing after a target it could not engage. So we added some protection, but it wasn't smart enough to handle all edge cases. Should be OK now.

Thanks again

Status: offline 		Ah yeah they upped the version number on the new release without me noticing. The fix is in 972.9
